Exhibition from 04/10/08 - 25/01/09
The exhibition has been compiled by curators from the Van Abbemuseum and the Smart Museum of Art in Chicago, who have undertaken several research trips during which their understanding of the Heartland region was changed through contact with local art scenes and experience of the region on the ground. They have selected work by artists who live in the region–some for decades, some as newcomers–as well as work by artists who live elsewhere, such as the three artists in residence. The varied positions represented within the curatorial collaboration and the selection of artists yields a view of the area from an American perspective as well as from a European one. In 2009, the exhibition will travel to the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago, where it will appear in a modified form.
